Learning About Human Nature and Analytic Technique From Mothers and Babies
Book information
Description
We have much to learn from mothers and babies not just about early life psychic phenomena that are active in us, but also about the analytic technique, when the internal setting becomes more important than the analyst’s interpretative capacity. The infant observation method is a useful tool for the refinement of psychoanalytic listening of primitive phenomena and for the development of the containment and receptive capacity in the analyst or any professional who is dedicated to the early stages of development.This book is a living testimony of years of observation work with the Bick method, including pregnancy and delivery, and much more spent in the working through of this material, in these unforgettable -- and usually inaccessible -- first three years of life.
